  18h UTC; THURSDAY, 23 MAY 2013: So where exactly is it written, pray, that renewable energy, and policies to encourage same, are deemed incompatible with ekonomesie vryheid met Amerikaanse eienskappe as one with Our National Character and Identity as a Sovereign Peculiar Among the Nations (all the while insisting that "every Nation is founded upon a Country [Landsbodem] allocted unto it by God")?
And talk about a poor use of rape analogy--to wit, Glenn Beck's using same vis-a-vis the non-scandal involving IRS overzealotry in reviewing applications seeking tax-exempt standing for certain "Tea Party," "9/12" and "patriot" movements claiming "social welfare organisation" exemptions solely to avoid donor disclosure.
Meanwhile, about the only jobs actually being "created" (if any) in states where "Tea Party"-influenced regimes hold high carnival, aside from those at Walmart (especially considering their notoriously high turnover rates which may eventually leave them no option but to turn to local sheltered workshops for the disabled as pis aller if bad gets to worse), are such from those promoting "work from home," "work online" and "network marketing" scams taking advantage of such who, know, have few realistically marketable job/career skills to begin with. Which can only get worse under an educational "reform" syllabus emphasising homeschooling as is itself based on apartheid South Africa's Christelik Nasionale Onderwys syllabus, placing idealised "values" and True Patriot Love Thou Dost In Us Command over core skills.
The which, know, makes them all the easier targets for "Tea Party" recruitment and exploitation.
In the immortal words of Stewie "Family Guy" Griffin, it looks as if Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is quickly becoming all the closer to being "exactly the kind of idiot you see at Taco Bell at one in the morning! The guy who just whiffed his way down the bar-skank ladder!" (And, more than likely, in an intemperate state, taking pains all the more to avoid "dropping hints" as could cause scandal and suddenly reduce the State of Wisconsin's sovereign debt rating to the edge of Junk.)
Memo to especially liquor bars in "shoobie trap" communities heading into the Memorial Day Long Weekend in the United States: New Jersey's Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, in a campaign code-named "Operation Swill," filed charges against 29 bars across The Garden State (including 13 TGI Friday's such) for Consumer Fraud and Deception by dispensing low-quality spirits from bottles which previously held high-end brands thereof, and charging consumers for the premium such. Helping such along: New technology available to investigators as can detect what's actually in the bottles of spirits behind the bar, distinguishing low-end brands from the more prestigious.
To paraphrase an old slogan for Wolf's Head Motor Oil, "it pays to be particular about what you're serving." (And in the interest of Social Responsibility, remember, too, that "moderation is true strength.")
No wonder the more homophobic Elmer Gantryites out there must be sitting glued to their PC's watching online videos (at least such as have yet to be removed from YouTube and suchlike for Glorifying Hate and even Glamourising Crime and Violence) of such displays of civil disorder, chaos and violence across France in recent days since same-gender marriage was legalised there last week, much of them by way of right-wing or otherwise militantly extreme organisations who see such as a Threat and Danger to French National Identity and Honour That Not Even Asterix Would Approach With a Three-Meter Pole; all, we may assume, in the interest of "research" and "inspiration" against the possibility of the Supreme Court overturning as much California's Proposition 8 ("Defence of Traditional Marriage") as the Federal "Defence of Marriage Act" (DoMA) when the final decisions in both cases are issued sometime next month.
(Including, for Luscious Glory, the self-slaughter of a prominent right-wing French historian upon the altar of Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral, and in full view of some 1,500 people as were inside; said suicide, in effect, desecrating the Sanctity and Sachristy of one of Paris' more famous glories.)
And though teenage pregnancy rates may have seen a major drop in the United States, as per just-issued statistics, it's inevitable that the Former Confederacy should see the highest rates therefor. Which could easily be put down to "cultural heritage," to use a popular trope down that way among the ranks of "poor whiteism" as are especially prone to sexual promiscuity therein (as if they needed a defence therefor, Earl Pitts and Jeff Foxworthy notwithstanding).
In any event, seeing that the Memorial Day Long Weekend, the traditional and at once unofficial start of the summer season, is approaching in the United States, Your Correspondent feels it best to take a short hiatus therein from his blogging habit; he could certainly welcome the break. Hopefully, he should return to the auld routine next Tuesday; in the interim, though, he'd appreciate your patronage of the Online Mall and/or the Online Boutique, as:
- Your Correspondent can earn some money off your purchases, money he could certainly use (and then some) within measurable distance; and

  18h UTC; WEDNESDAY, 22 MAY 2013: As school prepares to let out for the summer break in many parts of the country over the next fortnight or so, Your Correspondent can just imagine certain specimens of parents calling their children into the living room ahead of the end of term to explain, not the "facts of life," but the "why and wherefore" behind an insistence on the kids' being out of the house all the more during the summer break from classes, said kids expected to be "out and about" from after breakfast until supper time.
And among the patsies they're likely to bring up throughout will include such stock ones as:
- "It's not that we don't love you--on the contrary, we DO love you, and care about you."
- "We just feel you should learn to have fun on your own."
- "We can't always have the time to be together."
- "We don't want you needlessly wasting time in front of the TV or the computer when there's lots of good stuff to be had."
- "There's bound to be times when company could be around the house, and we can't have you disturbing them with your presence."
- "The community recreation programmes are promoting Bad Ideas that could hurt your mind." (Popular among especially Elmer Gantryite Christians holding homophobic feelings.)
Reinforcing all will be season passes for the local theme and water fun parks ... preloaded (and, as it turns out, reloadable) debit cards to cover allowance ... summer-long bus passes ... and carefully-scripted and -memorised stories to be deployed in certain instances (e.g., in case park staff, mall security or others in authority positions start asking questions about their presence unaccompanied by adult authority, especially in ride queues where height restrictions may apply), including such about nervous disorders, "company coming over," sudden sickness, &c.
Only it turns out that said excuses are really quasi-euphemistic code for parents needing the time to perouse and download child pornography of the crudest and most dangerous sort, and want extremely scrupulous pains taken to avoid attracting suspicions as could eventually reach the police and/or child welfare agencies ... the which, inevitably, backfire when, coming home for supper one evening, a Loud and Chaotic Police Raid ensues as sees the parents arrested for Perousal and Download of Child Pornography. And when questioned by police and child welfare agencies, the kids in question break down and explain the stories behind such demands to be away from the house during the day.
Is this any way to make the most of the summer school break?
Such distortion of the concept of euphemism to explain parental desires for having kids out of the house daytimes during the summer break itself calls to mind how hard-wired a concept conservative ideologues and propagandists must enjoy having of leveraging a supposed "word power" whose aims and ends are those of "winning over hearts and minds" of the Great Unwashed Masses towards the Greater Conservative Agenda and its articles of faith. One which relies heavily on regularly-issued "word/phrase lists" of such terms that the "right-thinking" conservative prolefeeder is expected to deploy all the more towards the Luscious Glory of Reclaiming Our Dear Lovely Nation from Herself Towards a New Golden Age of Industry, Self-Reliance, Personal Responsibility, Thrift based on Cash Economy and a Wholesome and Simple Home Life.
And which, unwittingly, can have coach and horses driven through it to deflate the whole premise and ideal; just witness Jon "Daily Show" Stewart and Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central sometime. Especially where conservative delusions of "word power", one which seems to have been inspired by a long-running Reader's Digest feature in quiz form entitled "It Pays to Increase Your Word Power" (and its Catholic Digest equivalent, "New Words for You"), excuse deliberate contradiction tending to doublethink, said contradictions expected to be kept discreet lest the details become obvious to the point of causing scandal.
Typical specimen of conservative "word power" backfiring to the point of the Inherent Doublethink letting slip: Their belief in Main Street (i.e., small-town/rural AmeriKKKa) being one with the "REAL AmeriKKKa" (i.e., "poor whites" of the lowest sort, expected to be all the more race-conscious as well as fanatically xenophobic, Bible-Believing Christian) ... yet at the same time insisting on Natural Law, Natural Selection, Survival of the Fittest being the dominating and guiding discipline (as in "big-box" retailers such as Walmart taking business away from "Main Street" to the point of being forced to close for want of competitive ability; even worse, many residents of the "REAL AmeriKKKa" so held deeply and dearly are on fixed incomes as cannot afford the round-trip drive of some 60-75 miles to the nearest Walmart, especially with fuel prices being what they are.
So are we to assume, then, that "REAL AmeriKKKa" (as manifested in Main Street) has outlived its viability, not unlike the deacon's one-hoss shay ... and is beyond any hope of rescue as does not involve ekonomesie vryheid met Amerikaanse eienskappe in significant measure?

Face it: Your Correspondent would appreciate a few more fans for
this blog's own Facebook presence! Just click on the image preceding.
18h UTC; TUESDAY, 21 MAY 2013: First off, Your Correspondent feels it best to send his solidarities and sympathies to those as have been afflicted by the late tornadoes in Oklahoma--as in Sunday's such in Shawnee as killed two and yesterday's such in the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore as killed 51 people (24 of which have been confirmed officially), with considerable injuries and devastation ensuing in the process.
However, he feels that Our Dear Lovely Nation can do without certain Elmer Gantryite types insisting that said tornadoes of late are a Divine Warning Upon Our Dear Lovely Nation that God is Withdrawing His Protective Hand Therefrom (which, for all I know, may also be the same Invisible Hand of the Marketplace cherished deeply and dearly by much the same element as Essential to AmeriKKKan National Character and Identity as a Peculiar Among the Nations) for Straying From His Divinely-Ordained Will and Predestiny as Lord and Master of the World, the Universe and the 28 Known Galaxies By Divine Right and Edict Revealed to Our Pilgrim Forefathers, all that Mickey Mouse.
(An interesting sidelight to the Unfortunate Events is that CBS was forced to cancel last night's season finale of Mike and Molly because of a tornado-related storyline considered inapproriate in light of same; a rerun was substituted at the last minute.)
Meanwhile, in keeping with my family's belief in supporting The Salvation Army USA over the Red Cross when it comes to disaster relief and comfort, those wishing to help them vis-a-vis the Unfortunate Events in Oklahoma can donate online (q.v.), by freecalling 1-800-SAL-ARMY with a credit or debit card, by sending cheque or money order to your local Salvation Army chapter (noting that said donation should go to Disaster Relief), or by texting "STORM" to 80888 on your smartfone to donate $10 (subject to your carrier's usual message charges; if you have a "prepaid" plan such as through Net10, TracFone, MetroPCS or Virgin Mobile, the donation will be taken from your available time).
Getting back to the Elmer Gantryite element for the moment, Your Correspondent could just imagine some such seeking to file a Taxpayer Lawsuit contending that community summer recreation programmes are Engaging in Unlawful Promotion of Homosexuality Upon Children and Impressionable Persons Generally at Taxpayers' Expense, contending that such who supervise activities under their direction are Known Homosexuals Who Will Stop at Nothing to Recruit Children Into their Evil, Deviant and Perverto Ways By Any Means Necessary (and will actually trot out "actual case studies" of Children Tricked into Homosexuality thus).
Only it turns out that the whole story is a carefully-manufactured and -scripted farce designed for maximising prolefeed value and attracting Fox News' unhealthy influences (cf. HLN's late excesses vis-a-vis Jody Arias), the whole eventually dismissed as frivolous, vexatious, tortious and otherwise Lacking Clear Judicial Merit to Warrant Serious Expenditure of Increasingly Limited Court Time and Resources.
As if the "REAL AmeriKKKan" (as in the "poor white" specimens of "Bible-Believing Christian" too trusting of Fox News and conservative talkback radio in what may be its twilight time for their own good) wasn't already too race-conscious in and of themselves, we can just imagine Appeals to Christo-Racial Honour and Identity rather crass and puerile seeking to raise funds in aid of their Racially-Conscious Afrikaner Brethren Down South Africa Way out of Shared Christian and Racial Identity, Values and Honour (replete with the inevitable atrocity stories unlikely to be verified independently about Clear and Present Danger of White Christian Persecution)--all the while wondering if such funds will actually be used in aid of their intended purposes of feeding, clothing and decently housing "the once-proud Afrikaner Volk***reduced to such miserable straits," &c., or will be diverted at the last minute to "more important matters," not otherwise specified.

16h UTC; SUNDAY, 19 MAY 2013: By now, you may or may not have heard about where Mayor Rob Ford out of Toronto The Good (or reasonable facsimilie thereof) was seen on a video supposedly smorking crack cocaine in a car park from a glass pipe (or, again, reasonable facsimilie thereof) ... and that said video was making the rounds of Teh Innerwebz big-big time, notwithstanding where offers to sell the video to Gawker.com and The Toronto Star (as has been rather uneasy towards His Honour) were unsuccessful as the maker thereof wanted six figures.
And Mayor Ford "himself" insists that it's not him, that he's been set up by The Toronto Star to discredit his conservative agenda and related articles of faith and force him out of office.
Now imagine the scene in question involving some "Tea Party"-type leader here in our otherwise "morally superior" United States, especially in a position otherwise expected to command the utmost of confidence and trust among the Moronic Underworld.
Especially so in light of a leaked Heritage Foundation memo to Congressional RepubliKKKans advising them to cook up scandals aimed at depicting President Obama in the most odious light possible at the expense of the commonweal (as last week's trifecta therefor, now collapsing for the most part, demonstrated).
Meanwhile, have cultural conservative Zealots and True Believers any evidence to substantiate their occasional charge about certain films or TV programmes causing "spontaneous and wholesale moral lapse" as is seen to Endanger Our National and Sovereign Identity as a Peculiar Among the Nations (in particular that as has been documented, empirically researched and peer-reviewed)? And how do we know their Elmer Gantryite drookies aren't secretly channelling His Satanic Majesty's Dark and Sinister Forces Upon Our Dear Lovely Nation and then projecting blame upon "liberals," "the gay lobby," "secular humanists" and worse (especially where prolefeed value can be maximised)?
Besides: Are Al Cohol, Mary Jane Weaver, Auntie Em and/or Old Doc Snow at play throughout their developing such bizarre and incredible prolefeed?
Another unlikely prolefeed target likely to be manipulated by Elmer Gantryites as Irrfutable Proof that God is Preparing to Remove His Protective Hand from Our Dear Lovely Nation Without Prior Notice or Warning (as if seeking to further push for the National Day of Fasting and Prayer for Reclaiming Our Dear Lovely Land on 9/11, as endorsed by Joseph "WorldNetDaily" Farah) would have to be Friday evening's derailment and collision of two Metro North commuter trains on their New Haven Line at Bridgeport, CT as left some 70 injured (six seriously) and the New York-Providence-Boston portion of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor out of service until further notice (or, as these misguided [pseudo]religious want it, "subject to Divine Confirmation" by way of certain signs in North Korean stylee).
(Still, though, could it be possible for His Protective Hand to also be the Invisible Hand of the Marketplace revered by conservative Zealots and True Believers insisting that a natural and latent interconnexion exists between ekonomesie vryheid met Amerikaanse eienskappe and Our National Character and Identity as a Sovereign Peculiar, and want such given the "mere formality of legal recognition," as it were, through a Constitutional Amendment?)
In concluding this post today, Your Correspondent wishes to apologise for the hasty and somewhat rough nature of same, as well as such posting unusually earlier than normal: Tomorrow morning, he goes in for a six-month physical with his medico at the local polyclinic, and as it may be some while for same to complete, especially in view of rough weather expected in these parts on the morrow, he apologises if there turns out to be no post in consequence therefor.

 18h UTC; SATURDAY, 18 MAY 2013: Could you just imagine the following interesting scenario:
As in a youngish boy on the cusp of his pubescence, his sexual flowering, the only survivor of a serious yacht accident somewhere in the Pacific's broad expanse as suddenly took the life of the rest of his family as were cruising thereon in the interest of "learning" ... who, as it turned out, managed to get into the only available rescue raft from said yacht and was left drifiting for a couple days until, as luck would have it, a couple of dolphins swam to the raft's sides and guided him to what turned out to be a rather small collection of Polynesian islands has had yet to see the onset of the White Man's Burden all this while.
So much so, in fact, that the natives remained outright naked all this time, largely out of a sense of comfort (especially while swimming or diving underwater, not to mention surfing) and tradition more so than erotic intent--but then again, these same specimens of pure Polynesianness remained rather candid and yet casual about sexual matters without crossing into the pornographically depraved (as in sensing that sexuality was a perfectly natural thing, and that the sexual act was largely for pleasure; hence, if pregnancy ensued--well, pregnancy happened).
Not to mention having an ingrained belief in insisting on extending sexual favours to all comers, if ever they did come--especially such of fairer complexion such as the boy of our story.
So, upon arrival, our boy (whom we'll call Sven for the sake of convenience) is actually looked upon with much in the way of curiosity by the natives ... and when taken before the local king to explain himself, Sven explains his rather unusual circumstances and the fact that he's "just an ordinary kid," not some missionary or suchlike type, who wound up thus by Fate. Whereupon His Majesty, considering where Sven is "coming to a certain age," as it were, refers Sven to a rather good-looking princess/sexpert as provides him with some rather natural, unrestrained even, instruction on Polynesian-stylee "facts of life," especially so the sensual. And it gets to feeling rather good, and then some, as he learns that nakedness among their kind is rather natural ... that they actually enjoy swimming with dolphins in a most natural sort of way (especially when naked; the dolphins seem to like it all the more) ... that they enjoy seeing dolphins and sea turtles mating underwater (and they don't seem to mind the audience one bit) ... and that sex is a perfectly natural thing, nothing to get worried or sick to the stomach about but rather to appreciate that magical sensation of two souls, if but for a few brief moments, merging into one.
Sven, in short, goes into essentially a Blue Lagoon sort of existance among the natives which, if not exactly hedonistic, is typically Polynesian in its purest sense throughout--even if there are those times when he suddenly lets loose with a wet dream while diving among the dolphins (and they don't bat an eye at the very sight thereof), or even accepts the fact that dolphins actually like using sex as a tool of bonding and friendship (even when humans come into the picture in such a primitive and natural milieu as this), especially after a couple days' acquaintenance with a particular such taking a liking to Sven.
And in return, the natives actually come to accept Sven for what he is.
